I have been in quite a mood today, and not my favorite one. Painting these birds helped me break through to a better one.

Birds are magical. I have a zebra finch who has free flight of the house. He likes his cages, the bedroom and the bathroom the best. Albus lets me know what needs to be done, when. If I’m doing laundry and get distracted, he tells me when to put the wash in the drier or reminds me to fold my clothes. He lands on the floor if I need to sweep, reminds me to eat, alerts me if I ignore the cooking timer, and insists on listening to his music each day. I am Albus’ mate, since his wife died of cancer several years ago. I got in his face and pulled his emotions away from self immolation. When I don’t feel well, he returns the favor.

These may seem like mundane issues to many, but to me, they are special, and Albus is super smart. I know all birds can be trained to daily patterns, but each bird has its own personality and favorite activities.

This is stunning! I love the combination of hard and soft lines you used to draw the birds. It makes them feel lifelike and gentle. They’re very pleasing to see! :yellow_heart: :pink_heart: :bird:

I love what you wrote. Finding beauty in the mundane is a kind of magic, too.

Beautiful colors! Purple and yellow are kind of magical together, don’t you think? :heart: I like the position of the birds, too.

Wonderful work! :slight_smile: We’ll have to start an artist’s thread; I’ve seen a lot of talent in this coven!

I love your interpretations.

I’ve been designing a Lenormand deck but I’ve been using AI so my only challenge has been convincing the AI that someone with three legs wasn’t acceptable. :rofl:

Lenormand can be really trippy.
